Draft Grade — Browns
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The jury is out on the Browns. For now, C.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Browns would have aced it. Raymond Cottrell at Round 2, Pick 7 is 302 spots clear of where he belonged. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

That Price pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In slot 6 they get a bendy edge with upside, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick24 Rnd1 Aamil Wagner
In the 24th pick they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Raymond Cottrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Raymond Cottrell in No. 39, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick70 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott slipping to the 70th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in pick No. 107 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tyler Van Dyke
Tyler Van Dyke at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Hykeem Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hykeem Williams well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
No drama and no debate, Beau Stephens went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 6. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kyle Louis. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick204 Rnd6 Ricardo Hallman
Ricardo Hallman in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nick Barrett
They talked themselves into Nick Barrett at pick No. 216, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Taking Raylen Wilson in the 248th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
